Yes. But they were nurses, not doctors; secretaries, not bosses; stewardesses, not pilots; telephone operators, not linemen; bank tellers, not loan officers. And school teachers, but not principals. Many businesses were reluctant to hire single women, because they thought as soon as she found a husband, she'd quit and start having children. There has been an ever-increasing female participation in the work force since WWII, and an ongoing struggle to gain access to high-level jobs, and to careers which traditionally had been male.
